We Know Each Other's Love

I know that you love me It's in your warm blue eyes As they dance to the fire Of passion within your heart They speak of the recognition Of the partnership between you and I I know that you love me It's in your sweet smile That makes my knees go weak A million butterflies Flutter in my tummy The secret bond between two lovers I know that you love me It's in that endearing laughter That captures the very essence of your nature It fills the room with sunshine and life It's easy to forget you have Alzheimer's For that brief moment, it's like old times I know that you love me It's in your soft kiss How could something so light Shoot such powerful darts of emotion? The simple action of this sign of affection Hits thunderbolts of joy to the core You know that I love you It's in the way my face lights up The minute I see you I'm like an excited child at Christmas! I've just been given an amazing present: Time spent with my beautiful husband You know that I love you It's in my gentle stroking of your skin It speaks of so much tenderness Of how much you mean to me It says "I miss you, adore you, need you" And I'm sure you feel the same way, sweetheart You know that I love you It's in the way I praise God through song And include you in this precious worship I know you relished holding these fellowship meetings As hands were raised skywards United in music and spirit You know that I love you It's in the way I hold your hand I never want to let you go You grip on to me for dear life Obviously returning the sentiment Despair not at my departure For it is but a short while Oh I really love love these visits, Gordon Because one thing is perfectly clear... ...we know each other's love
